Alkaline Trio - Demon And Division Lyrics

Been dodging bullets and dirty looks all fucking morning. Classic Trio.

thank u for this dudes. not many english people like alkaline trio like me. i am alone. superior.

I'm English too, but yeah I don't know anyone who's heard of them.

i relate to this song too much

doing it right

Such an amazing energy with an original video.

Never can go wrong with their tunes like EVVVVEEERRR 😈🔥🎶

The bridge in this song absolutely makes the track. Well played, Dan.


Not to be outshined, it's still one of Skiba's top 5 hooks IMO.

Garbage album... crimson is way better.

Crimson is my favourite

I still don't get it why there's a line in French

that he didnt even pronouce right LOL

Because it’s Dan Andriano and he can do what he wants

Is there any better song than this in the world??

possibly not

It's still my favorite one on this album. August 31st, 2018: I almost died with my friend. What turned into an accidental hit and run became a multiple hit and run which ended up in a car chase racing towards life or death. It was a day before my mom's birthday. I don't know about those people, but we escaped while they stayed in place after crashing. I made it back to listen to the rest of this album and to tell her happy birthday in person. Thank you God and alkaline trio. I try to stay away from that mf now lol don't take anything in this life for granted.

I am honestly glad you survived and could tell us this and tell your mum everything you needed to tell

@FalloutIsaac Thank you. It's a day I'll never forget. It was like a scene in a movie. We all have our stories. It's just that this happened on the day this album came out which is what makes this album even more special to me.

Now my house is haunted

I was so intrigued by the video, I hardly heard the song!

Isn't this from the same guy who did a trip to the moon?

Brazilian fan!

There's such a cool feeling that emotes from this song.

I love how this video captures the brilliant wordsmith Skiba is, and how much of a fucking genius George Melies was.

Jeez how much i like Alk3!!! I was pretty sad and quite lost but now i can feel the energy and the warm of the sun inside me again. Thanks Alk3 you guys are my magic

What is everybody’s thoughts on the song meaning?

2:08 to 2:26 what does Matt sing in the background? “No kidding” ?

'You're killing' ?

“You are killing” more specifically

Blink 18-who?

Reminds me of hello jealousy.. awesome

This song is awesome!

God bless those sunless mornings

Guys in the lyrics you put damen and division instead of demon

Patrick Dematteo That’s the actual lyrics. The song references the intersection of Damen and Division in Chicago. Demon is just a pun in the title.

@Don Beck thanks man, I had no idea! That was actually really informative (no sarcasm intended)
I live in New England, so I'm terribly familiar with the areas they reference. haha

Patrick Dematteo No problem! I was like WTF at first too.

I miss the days when you would never hear about Blink in alkaline circles.

BRAZIL"

Probably my favourite trio song since mercy me ! Maybe even stupid kid ! !!!!!!

The Trio have done it AGAIN....... They are going to go down as one of the most consistent and just great bands in history.

I'm in love! :)

I got some poison on the brain
And I’m not scared I’m not ashamed
No more of anything, anything, anything but the rain
It melts my smile straight down the drain
I found black magic and white shame
And I lost everything, everything, everything but the pain

I set my alarm for an early start that I slept through
I’ve torn apart all chances of stealing your heart
That sunless morning
I got my start on the mean streets
Where Demon and Division meet
Been dodging bullets and dirty looks all fucking morning

Now I have violence on the brain
You’re not in love you’re just insane
Afraid of everything, everything, everything and the shame
It wipes that smile right off your face
Lost in confusion and disgrace
I once had everything, everything, everything but you

I set my alarm for an early start that I slept through
I’ve torn apart all chances of stealing your heart
That sunless morning
I got my start on the mean streets
Where Demon and Division meet
Been dodging bullets and dirty looks all fucking morning

Jaw dropped, here in shock on the icy streets (you’re Killing)
All the alcohol in hell and I just watched it freeze (you’re Killing)
Now I’ll skate on through, say to you
Have it, I’m finished

I’m getting out, set the clock for an early start
Dodged a bullet, saw my shadow get blown apart
I won’t apologize

but you are killing me

I set my alarm for an early start that I slept through
I’ve torn apart all chances of stealing your heart
That sunless morning
I got my start on the mean streets
Where Demon and Division meet
Been dodging bullets and dirty looks all fucking morning
I got some poison on the brain

Virtual Boy

ha yeah

Dan is my favorite singer he killed his part

Nothing like the October, fall weather , and new Alkaline trio.

Make America Emo Again

It's awesome. You can hear the history of the band in this song. So much build up that plays out so beautifully.

This song go hard on folkznem grave 🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱 GD Crazzyyy

Much bettet san the Last

God, I dig this song...Gimme another drink

Is Dan a fan of Avail maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMFria71780

“Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
Past is gone, but something might be found
To take its place...”

my favourite song off the album but does it not bother anyone that Dan pronounces the french words 'Si tu veux' incorrectly?

Cordelia Tok Do Matt and Dan pronounce anything correctly with their strange accent? Haha!

(BTW I love the Alkaline Trio accent but I’m just saying)

they don't have a strange accent tho... lol.

Cordelia Tok Yes they do. Listen to how they pronounce words words when they sing.

“I set my alahm for a ahhly staht, that I slept through all torn apaht”

hahah what? i don't think its weird but then again if u wanna talk about pronunciation we should really remember monsieur tom delonge

Cordelia Tok I suppose it depends on where you’re from, but they’re definitely sporting a “punk rock accent” when they sing.

If you are from Chicago you completely understand this song....and the pun that is the title! Great to hear trio being themselves again!

Lmao from Chicago and whole Chicago is violent and I watch my back when I'm up north too 😂 never know .. hell look what Happened at the pier this past July 4 .

Skiba still got it. and so does Dan.

111k likes? But mumble rap and bs gets millions and millions of views?? Wtf has this world come to !!! love this new Akaline trio record !! Absolutely amazing

Sounds great!!! The chorus reminds me of one of my all time favorite songs, “Hey Jealousy” by Gin Blossoms. I’m even humming it when the chorus kicks in.

I wasnt expecting this. I have been “meh” on alkaline trio since crimson came out, but this song is incredible. I love it and the video. I’m going to have the chorus stuck in my head for days.

Beautiful song, through and through. Thank you Alkaline Trio for writing such beautiful tunes. Love you guys!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I haven't been this addicted this much to a song than. EVER!!!

I've been missing this pop punk sound for awhile. Thanks Alkaline Trio!!

Wow old Alkaline Trio is back!!

soooo good!

Can't stop listening to this song

I'm a part of the group that never wants there old school bands to change. Unfortunately or fortunately Alkaline Trio stuck to their roots and it feels very dated.

Best song on the album for sure. Fucking love it!

stop making beautiful song pls

I like the Blink 182 infulence, I've always wondered why Matt and Dan never traded verses like this before.

Nate Schooler Back to Hell, Old School Reasons, Mercy Me, Settle for Satin, Love Love Kiss Kiss...it’s happened a few times but not enough.

I'm so happy rn

I hope John Feldmann will not produce the next Blink album.

I thought they were dead. Lets get out of here mengs.

Dat red and black is real?

So many of the songs on this album are instant classics and are already among my favorites from Alkaline Trio.

This is so good

Anyone else get jawbreaker vibes from this? The bass line in particular

Usually bands like this get worse with age but Alkaline are timeless man. I’d argue some of the more modern stuff is better than the older shit. Anyways, what a tunnnneeeee

Man... Dans verse on this track is fucking great...

Georges Méliès vibe

Best full album since Crimson. Love this band so much!

i dont know how made this but thank you , i really enjoyed it :)

Also nice to have Skiba doing his own original shit rather than cover songs for a band I love but obviously does not know what to do with a talented voice

Finally!!!!!! A reason to turn up the stereo!!!! Where you been boys. Nice to have you back

U have to know Chicago to know this song

This is fkin briliant

holy shit both matt's and dan's vocals are fucking killer!!!

Nice bass tone. So far I'm digging the sound of this record

That thing dancing was funny.

Is This Video Cursed?

Blink can never come close to the lyrical and melodic genius that is Alkaline Trio.

This is shaping up to be their best album in a while

I ❤️ THISS SO MUCH

This seems suspicious chief

Cih,keknya ngemis

That bass is everything. I'm obsessed. Missed you guys! ❤️🖤

These first 3 songs are so damn good. I really don't know how they did this. It's so difficult to pull yourself into writing like this. There's something so damn fresh and original about this song. I've listened to this song 42,656 times here back to back and I'm still not sick of it... It's like hearing them again for the first time. So good. Lyrics spot on, current, relevant, dark and brilliant.

Cool song, but why does it say "Damon and Division" in the video?

TheZombie That’s the real lyrics. They just changed the title for a play on words. It’s an intersection in Matt’s old home town

Damen and division is an intersection in Chicago, in the neighborhood where the band lived while first starting out.

Ugh. What happened to Dan's bass sound?

Bring back Tom!! Oh wait....

And to think, Matt Skiba delayed music this good to make...... California

So far the best record since Good Mourning

Great song, chorus reminds me of the chorus of Hey Jealousy by Gin Blossoms.

Songs from this album are some of the finest pop punk/rock tracks I've ever listened to. They only have one flaw: they finish.

You just keep hitting the fucking home runs, Trio!

muy buena letra !

aaaaaaa❤

I like alkaline trio

The chorus kind of sounds like Hey Jealousy

Ashton Wilkins So, I’m NOT the only one humming “Hey Jealousy” by the Gin Blossoms!!! 😂😂😂😂

Came to say this very thing

Thank you! I could not figure out what song this was reminding me of. That's it.
